Answer:

Down Below, hope it helps!

Explanation:

The temperance movement was a social movement against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. It was extremely important because many families were broken apart due to the consumption of alcohol, mainly the man in the family. Many wives complained about abusive husbands and many parents got a divorce. That was not all, there were many religious and health concerns when it came to alcohol. The temperance movement did ban alcohol, but it didn't work. Many people went behind the law and started to create illegal places in which people could get access to alcohol. This was extremely dangerous and put many people in harm's way, causing the ban of alcohol to be put down, and the consumption of alcohol was once again, legal.

How do scholars know that Indo-Aryans raised cattle and depended upon their milk, but later turned to agriculture?
Talja [164]

The scholars know that the Indo-Aryans was once raised cattle and depended upon their milk but later turned to agriculture for they found evidence in the Vendidad where it shows the importance of sheep and cattle-rearing and their agricultural activities was considerably developed. These have been proved from careful comparison of a number of Vedic and Avesta words relating to agriculture.

Moreover, in most Vedic hymns, one can draw a conclusion that they settled down to a peaceful agricultural life and in the book of Atharva Veda, it contains the tradition of agriculture and that Prthi-Vainya was the inventor of ploughing.

Answer:

When Thomas Jefferson imagined the ideal environment for the republic to thrive, he pictured a country made up of small farms. Independent farmers would make an honest living tilling the soil, and in doing so, they would become virtuous citizens.

Before the Civil War, the Free-Soil movement and the Republican Party embraced this idea for the American West: a territory reserved for small white farmers, unchallenged by the wealthy plantation owners who could buy up vast tracts of land and employ slave labor. (The indigenous residents of the West did not figure into their vision, except as obstacles to remove).

During the Civil War, the Republican-controlled Congress worked to make the dream of a farmer’s paradise a reality by passing the Homestead Act, which granted up to 160 acres of western land to loyal citizens. The US government also helped westward expansion by granting land to railroad companies and extending telegraph wires across the country.^1

After the Civil War, the dream of independent farms remained, but the reality was more complex. Just as big business was coming to dominate the factories of eastern cities, so too were powerful corporate interests beginning to elbow out the independent farmers, miners, and cowboys who had built the image of the West as the land of opportunity for the rugged individual.

Developing the West

A variety of factors enticed American settlers and immigrants to head west in the late nineteenth century. Chief among these was the availability of cheap land for farming, logging, and ranching. Hundreds of thousands of people obtained land through the Homestead Act: through it, the US government transferred more than 270 million acres of public lands into private hands.^2

The discovery of precious metals and minerals also drew people to the West. Miners discovered gold, silver, and copper in several western states. The discovery of silver in the Comstock Lode in Nevada in 1858 prompted the largest rush of prospectors since the California gold rush a decade earlier. Hordes of miners looking to strike it rich created short-lived “boomtowns” that swiftly turned into abandoned “ghost towns” when the communities exhausted the easily-accessible minerals. By the 1880s, only large mining corporations had the money and machinery necessary to undertake the difficult work of extracting ore from deep in the earth.^3  

I hope that is enough!!
